ci(rhodibot): switch to the report-only canary (standards#759) - #103
Conversation
The RSR workflow here is the mutating variant: weekly cron, write permissions,
glob deletes, a bulk SPDX `sed` sweep the licence policy forbids, a
`${{ steps.fix.outputs.FIXES }}` injection sink, and a hardcoded personal
e-mail. Replaced with the canary the template ships: same schedule, same drift
signal, reports instead of mutating.
Refs metadatastician/standards#759 (option (a), canary propagation).

However, it does not follow the repository template: it omits the required Summary, Changes, RSR Quality Checklist, Testing, and Screenshots sections, and it provides no test results or checklist status. Resolution Restructure the description using the repository template. Add the required Summary, Changes, RSR Quality Checklist, and Testing sections. Mark each applicable checklist item and describe the validation performed. Add Screenshots or terminal output if applicable. Thanks for using CodeRabbit!

Include each finding in the job summary.
The annotations report each finding, so they do not contradict the report-only contract. However, $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY contains only the heading and aggregate result. It does not identify the files or patterns that need manual review.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

The RSR workflow in this repository is the mutating variant of rhodibot: it runs on a
weekly cron with
contents: write+pull-requests: write, deletes files by glob, andbulk-rewrites SPDX headers — which the standing licence policy forbids. It also interpolates
${{ steps.fix.outputs.FIXES }}into arun:block (repo-derived filenames, soattacker-influenceable) and hardcodes a personal e-mail address.
This replaces it with the report-only canary that the estate template already ships — the
already-approved design, not a new one. Same weekly schedule, same drift signal, no mutation:
it reports what an auto-fixer would have changed and fails the run when it finds drift,
rather than editing anything. Licence/SPDX drift is reported for manual, owner-only
correction; rhodibot must never edit a licence header.
Part of the
standards#759migration (canary propagation, option (a)). The workflow'suses:pins are unchanged, so
actions.lockis unaffected.
